Letter: School vouchers could work for others as well

Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 | 7:58 a.m.

I recently read an article about how school vouchers being provided to foster children are helping them in their educational stability.

This policy makes a lot of sense. It got me thinking that if school vouchers are working for this group of people, why not expand, on a broad basis, the program to other groups in our society that also lack the educational stability required to accomplish improved learning skills we are sorely lacking in many areas of our society?

I can only assume that those people who are diametrically opposed to the voucher system, for their own selfish reasons, are dedicated to continuing to keep a segment of our society "down on the farm."
